    If you want it turned into a font, let me know. It would only take an hour or so depending on the final number of characters.

    Mike, you're awesome, and thanks for the offer!
    I have been working between Xara and a font editor (back and forth) trying to get things right. I'm not skilled at the font editor, but thankfully, Xara to the rescue in helping me to re-draw the glyphs!
    This is some what improved, but I see I still have work to do.

    Went back and changed some more. Here's a sample of my signature: RDuke 2016 Font and the Duke EXT copyright font...

    Great compliment coming from a Master. Thanks Gray. I know it still needs a lot of refining, but Xara makes it easy and fun.

    Ron, I have looked at your font and marveled at it many times. So thought it time I told you that it is great, no kidding. Well done Ron!

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    Here's an update to my font called Duke EXT.
    I think the Upper Case H is a little too wide, so I narrowed it. What do you think? (I realize I'm leaving myself wide open here, but...)

    I think you are right, but compared to the E and F it's looks too narrow now to me.

    I like the curve you've added to the horizontal bar, Ron. The width, not sure, maybe a bit too narrow now.

    You're exactly right, siran! Thanks. What about the M and N?
